This investment will allow us to invest in future technologies and games in order to prepare for the next generation of platforms, with the same ambition regarding creativity and innovation.
The interview also outlined that it wasn’t just funding that Quantic were after, they want to remain independent in their decisions and find a partner that they would work well together with creating a “meaningful partnership” according to an interview with Variety.
When asked about whether they would work with NetEase for the mobile platform his response was the aim is to access a wider range of platforms:
Our objective is to be present on all platforms where there is an audience that can enjoy our experiences. We will, of course, continue developing on PlayStation, a platform that we know very well after having worked with Sony for 12 years, but we will also be present on all other relevant platforms.
Hopefully Quantic Dreams will gain a supportive partner that will help them continue their highly acclaimed interactive storytelling.
